Applicants will receive feedback on whether their application was successful, from April 2025. Bursary recipients must submit progress reports to the secretary, by no later than 14 February each year, until the end of the course of study. www.zabursaries.co.za is committed to keeping you up to date with the latest bursary opportunities, and this article covers all details about the DENOSA Bursary.
